![]() Season 4's "Selma's Choice" has the Duff Gardens equivalent of "It's a Small World", which is almost as catchy as the original.We also can't forget this awesome parody of over the top car commercials.It remains one of only two songs on the show to have won an Emmy. We put the "spring" in Springfield!, a very funny Crowd Song in protest against tearing the burlesque house down.The campers at the title camp in the Season 4 opener sound about as enthusiastic as you'd expect when their "activities" amount to child labour, their diet consists of imitation gruel, and the counselors are school bullies Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney. Season 4's "Duffless" features a simultaneously funny and solemn "It Was a Very Good Year" parody in "I Drank Some Very Good Beer", sung by Homer as he pours his beer down the sink and flashes back to his first time buying beer with an obviously fake I.D., and not getting caught or denied service.the Monorail" from Season 4 features the first rate parody of "Ya Got Trouble" from The Music Man in which Lyle Lanley, the parody version of Harold Hill, gets the town behind the idea of spending the settlement money from the nuclear power plant on a. Many of the Be Sharps' songs in "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" from Season 5 are awesome, but none more so than the (in-universe) Grammy winner Baby on Board!!.note The version heard in the episode was done by soundalike Kip Lennon, though Jackson did provide the vocals for the song's demo. When you have Michael Jackson guest star on an episode, it's only necessary that he contribute an example of this trope: "Lisa it's Your Birthday".(A pity his lifted spirits very quickly sink again.) Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? A rousing tune sung by the entire Simpson family to lift Apu's spirits after Homer gets him fired from the Kwik-E-Mart in "Homer and Apu" from Season 5.The Stonecutters Song from "Homer the Great": Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down? We do!!! We do!!! So much so it was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.Yeardley Smith really went all out with the vocals for this song, adding onto the Heartwarming Moment. Lisa's version of "Jazzman" by Carole King.Notably it's recorded with Lisa's baritone saxophone, rather than an alto saxophone as in the original song, providing a deeper tone. Lisa Simpson's version of "Baker Street", over an emotional montage of her sax playing over the years.Season 7's "A Fish Called Selma" includes, somewhere in the lower depths of Troy McClure's career, a musical version of Planet of the Apes with McClure as Taylor and the classic song Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius.Honorary mentions to " You Only Live Once" from YOLO and " 600" from Treehouse 27. The two epic Bond theme parodies: Scorpio " (He loves German BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR!), and McBain's theme, "Blessed be the Guy That Bonds".Nothing gets the blood flowing like Tito Puente's slanderous mambo. The incredibly creepy Dark Reprise of the main theme that played over the credits of "Who Shot Mr.In a Season 24 episode, we have another song from Mr.Also has Smithers playing a Frank Zappa like guitar solo. Look at All These IDIOTS! (even though that was on the Simpsons Sings the Blues album and not on a particular episode).See.my.vest! See my vest! Made from real gorilla chest! ![]() The Season 6 episode "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" has the hilarious parody of "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast in which Burns shows off his vast collection of clothes made from animal skins.Burns may be the perfect example of a Corrupt Corporate Executive, but the man has serious singing chops: For an illustration of how much Alf Clausen's score added to the series in its first several decades, look no further than the music of the famous "Land of Chocolate" scene of " Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk", an enchantingly whimsical piece that perfectly follows Homer's movements through the dreamlike chocolate landscape.Fans of either or both shows may get a bit misty-eyed listening to it. Season 6's "The Springfield Connection" gives us a beautiful rendition of the ending credits, which pays homage to the Hill Street Blues theme song.Also, the choral music set to the Deliberately Monochrome boxing montage earlier in the same episode. Sally Stevens singing Barbra Streisand's "People" over the montage during the first half of the end credits of "The Homer They Fall".With Roger Clemens clucking all the while, Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile!
